Herd Restaurant

Came in with my wife on a busy Saturday night but managed to find seating at the bar that we we're more than happy with. Started with the meatball lollipops and the pork belly apps which were phenomenal. Followed it up with a ceasar and flank steak. Great dressing on the ceasar and a perfect temp on the steak. We will be back!

We had a nice night at Herd. The meal we had was very good. Fried oysters, house made pork belly, flat iron steak, soft shelled crab special, and poached pear. Everything was well cooked. Seafood was fresh and not overcooked, and the steak was done a perfect medium rare. The flavors were good, but not quite balanced. The crab showed some real talent, and sense of whimsy. Poached pear was nice and not too sweet thankfully, but it was cold. The decor is nice and modern, and matched the theme the owner was going for. The location is nothing special, and the Christmas lights in the window were not needed. Drinks were well made. Our server, and the service overall was excellent. We will be back. This restaurant seems like it is on the right track.

Easily some of the best burgers we have ever had. We got the Heart-a-Quack and the Goat-Herder. We also had their killer cheese curds-with-truffle-honey. Large portions, good atmosphere, and great service. Highly recommend. (We ordered the burgers off their pub menu - the restaurant is split into a bar/pub section and a nice sit-down restaurant dining room. You can order pub menu items in either place, but happy hour pricing is only available in the pub. Just fyi!)

We had a party of four and two of us arrived before my girlfriend and I. They said that the main dining room was apparently booked out, but we were able to get a decent table in the pub area. No problem, very comfortable bar stools. Nice atmosphere and decent food. I had the polenta appetizer and the fettuccine/mushroom entree. Both were good but a little heavy-handed with the truffle oil. Tried some of the buffalo cauliflower and it was alright, would have been better with a bit more crispiness. Service was on the slow side, but it didn't really bother me. The other people with us had been there twice before and loved it, they said it seemed like an off night for the service. Overall it was a nice meal, I will definitely go back and check it out again!

Despite the pandemic, the restaurant was delicious and well serviced. The space was clean and felt safe, and the food was great. Service was quick and minimal contact made us feel like they were paying attention. Had appetizer of popcorn chicken, calamari, and meatballs--all amazing. They were out of the cheese curds, to our disappointment, but didn't matter, All yummy. Had steaks--NY strip, petite filet mignon, and a few other entrees. The meats were cooked perfectly and tasted great. They sides of mashed potatoes were originally considered "boring" by my dinner companions, but when they ate them they reconsidered. The garlicky green beans were awesome too. The desserts were a chocolate pot-de-crème and were rich, sweet, and YUMMY. There was also a brown butter bourbon ice cream that was something we'ed never had. It was great. Thanks team! thanks for your help and your ease of implementing the 'rules.' Also, thanks for using resy.com. We've used opentable, but not resy, and it was just as easy. Thank you!

Maybe it was just the wrong night to eat there. It took forever to get our meals because the kitchen wasn't communicating with the wait staff who had to return to the table several times to tell us what wasn't available to go with what we ordered. And some function had been going on before we arrived so patrons were dragging tables and chairs around on their own to rearrange the seating. And our waitress was brand new but learning. The food was good but I'm glad we just ordered from the bar menu. Having main room meals with these problems would have been intolerable.

Easily the worst restaurant in Middletown. Very overpriced food considering quality, bad and unsafe location, un attentive staff - you can do much better elsewhere in the town Update : There was a stabbing there three weeks ago right near the barber shop. I did mention it to waitstaff where I was greeted with an unfriendly response to say the least. I have posted positive reviews as well, I appreciate the time you took to scrutinize my profile. It is because of people like you that I don’t share private information via internet review profiles . If You want good eats in Middletown , Esca, La Boca, Eli’s, Luce’s and a few others far surpass both quality and quantity of this restaurant, for those of you wondering -
